Condolence: I am so sorry for your loss. I was lucky enough to have worked with Mr. G back when it was still the Maritime Forecast Center and it is hard to imagine the Weather Center without him. He was a great mentor to me and is one of the biggest influences on the officer I am today. He was an amazing man who was never afraid to voice his opinion bluntly and directly; and I absolutely admired him for it.

Condolence: I am truly saddened by the loss of a great mentor and friend. Mr G helped guide this ENS through the ways of forecasting and ship routing and I will never forget his wisdom and guidance imparted to me. I am truly sorry for your loss...he was the king of OTSR!!

Condolence: So sorry for your loss.

Condolence: Dear Debbie and Family, My heart goes out to you all on the passing of Ken. I know how much he meant to you all as a husband and a father. To me, Ken was a "True Friend." He was the kind of "Man" I was looking for to show my son how to treat his wife and his family. The conversations we had were great and I will truly miss him. I am proud to say, I was his friend. Stay Strong and God Bless, Lowell G. Evans

Condolence: I had the pleasure and privilege to work with Ken at the Naval Oceanography/Weather Center Norfolk for over 18 years. He was a true professional in every respect. I'll be keeping good thoughts for all of you.

Condolence: Wishing you peace in God's promise... "I will turn their mourning into joy, I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow. Jer 31:13. Thinking of you during this difficult time and sending my condolences.

Condolence: Janis and I send our condolences to Kenneth's family. He was a much loved friend. May he RIP.

Condolence: Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. May God comfort your hearts. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me." Psalm 23:4

Condolence: Deb and Family, when I learned of Kens passing, I wrote something down and want to share with all of you. My deepest sympathies, my thoughts and my prayers are with you. I got news today that a man passed away yesterday. He was a family man from Texas. He lived everyday principled and committed, a man you could trust with your most sacred possession or secret. He served this country proudly, honorably and was stationed on board the USS IOWA BB-61 on that fateful day in April of 1989. He was my neighbor when I lived in Va Beach. We both had retired in the early 90's and we began working at the same little store down at the oceanfront. That's when I got to know him real well. Quiet and humble and a sense of humor that would surprise you. A work ethic rarely seen and was a big part in the success of a rundown dealership that turned around. A rare individual that you could not find anyone, not one person, that would or could speak ill of this man. My heart goes out to his family as I am sure they know just how special he was. Ken Ghormley, as you passed the stormy seas towards the pearly gates, may you, on the rest of your journey have fair winds and following seas, my friend. You will be missed.

Condolence: Dear Mrs. Ghormley, We are thinking of you during this very sad, difficult time. We are so deeply sorry to hear about Ken; our hearts go out to you in your time of sorrow. Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies and know that our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Your husband was one of the kindest people we've ever known, and we will never forget him. Our love, Lenore and Ron Lefton

Condolence: Please know that Ken was admired and respected. Thoughts and prayers from my family to yours.

Condolence: Prayers for your peace and comfort during this most difficult time. Kenneth was a great fellow, and we are thankful we will be with him again one day. God bless you all.

Condolence: We was so sorry to hear of your loss . Please know that all of you are in our prayers at this time and the hard days ahead for y'all . We have many memories of our high school days growing up together and having fun . Seeing him and visiting him 6 months ago brought back many fond memories to us that will never be forgotten . So very proud to have known him . With deepest regards and prayers Pat & Roger Williams

Condolence: My family's thoughts and prayers are with you. We have shared precious memories of the past together. You will forever be in my memory.

Condolence: My condolences to the Ghormley family in this difficult time. It is comforting to know the Bible gives us a sure hope for the future. We all look forward to Jehovah fulfilling the promise at Revelation 21:3,4. The promise to do away with death forever here on the earth. Also the wonderful hope of seeing our love ones again (John 5:28,29).

Condolence: These are unimaginable thoughts and words but I must offer my deepest heartfelt condolences to you, the Ghormley family on your loss of a great man. Ken Ghormley was a giant! A great friend, mentor, trainer, and co-worker, we've stood the watch as a team for the last 10 years. He selflessly shared all his knowledge of ships and how to effectively Route them and taught me the "business" first hand. I'm forever grateful to have known him and I will miss him everyday! He steadfastly stood the watch to the bitter end. You've earned your rest Ken Ghormley! Rest easy my friend til next we meet...

Condolence: Our deepest condolences to the Ghormley family. Ken has long been a valued friend and co-worker, always ready with a helping hand or encouraging word when needed. He will be greatly missed by myself and all who came to know him. Rest in peace, Dear Friend.

Condolence: Uncle Ken was a great family man. He was dearly loved and will be missed! Will think about him every time we eat a Waterburger!!!

Condolence: My family and I want to pass on our sympathy for your loss. Ken was a great friend and mentor and will be missed.

Condolence: Our condolences, may he rest in pace and watch over us as he watched over the fleet for many years. He was a friend and overall a brother who touched many lives and faithfully served our Nation and the US Navy. Until we meet again...RIP

Condolence: Thanks for your sharing your knowledge, humor, and advice to all of us. You've made us all better people. You will be missed by all. Prayers for your family. Rest in Peace Ken - Senior Chief.
